Location: Greenbank, Whidbey Island, Puget Sound, Washington State, USA (Located just north of Mutiny Bay on Whidbey's west side) View Map
Accommodations: Waterfront House, 6 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 5 Baths (Sleeps 14)
One of the most spectacular properties on Puget Sound, this spacious, contemporary four bedroom, three bath home is sited on 155' of “sugar sand” no-bank waterfront facing west/southwest. The 1 ½ acre compound also include two additional cottages, hot tub, private 40’ swimming pool, apple orchard, beautiful gardens, large lawn perfect for croquet, volleyball, badminton, or baseball, and covered beach shelter with firepit.
Build castles on the beautiful sandy beach. Cast for salmon from the shore. Cook an outdoor feast in the beachfront barbecue pit, toast the sunset, and celebrate with your friends at the beach shelter and firepit, right on the beach. A 10 minute stroll to the south are the towering firs and old growth hiking trails of South Whidbey State Park.
The Beachfront House provides 3000 square feet of luxury space, another 1200 sqft in the two cabins, and extensive decking and patios. A major remodel by Seattle architect Bruce Stock and Associates was recently completed with interior styling by designer Lisa Wise. Amazing beach, water, and mountain views are framed from every room. Our two largest bedrooms each include king beds. A third contains a queen bed and twin bunk beds. A fourth contains a twin with trundle bed and opens directly into bedroom three, great for a family arrangement. A huge open plan kitchen offers granite countertops, teak trestle dining set seating 10-12, and every appliance and utensil we could think of. You’ll find oak and cork floors, antique Persian carpets, cedar clad cathedral ceilings, three cozy gas fireplaces, entertainment size deck with outdoor speakers, and an cozy atrium room. Bedrooms Five and Six offer queen beds in their own adjacent cabins. The cabins are also furnished exquisitely, with fine linens and cozy bedding, including a Westin Heavenly Bed in the Beach Cabin. Each cabin has its own bathroom, as well as satellite TV service, phone/intercom, and of course a coffee-maker.
Amenities include a Hotspring hot tub with ozonator, HDTV upstairs with DVD and Satellite service, 46? widescreen HDTV downstairs with Wii system, Wii sports games, and DVD, multi-room stereo with huge CD collection, stainless steel barbeque, teak outdoor furniture, game table, fully stocked gourmet kitchen with all new appliances, double laundry, and a wide selection of games and books.
Watch cruise ships and freighters ply Admiralty Inlet as the sun sets behind the Olympic Mountains. View sunsets from either your deck, or walk down the concrete path to a beach of stunning natural beauty. A concrete path winds down the hillside (35 steps) to a huge lawn with the sandy beach just beyond. Very private. A beach shelter covers a picnic table next to a barbecue pit, right on the beach. Our private heated 40' pool is a lovely option in the summertime. There are many toys and games for younger children and a highchair available for babies. Come visit us on beautiful Whidbey Island!
Perfectly Sited on Whidbey Island’s “Gold Coast”
Our property is sited just north of Bush Point near South Whidbey State Park. There are only a few beachfront homes in our enclave. Most of the shoreline for a mile in either direction is in its natural state. Whidbey Island’s west side real estate is the most highly valued on South Whidbey, with coveted Olympic Mountain, Puget Sound and shipping lane views, sandy beaches, and sunsets. Our particular location just north of the beautiful but densely developed Mutiny Bay area is even better. Recent upgrades have made Whidbey Beachfront House and Cabins the premier vacation rental on Puget Sound- a romantic retreat for 2 couples, or bring the extended family- we accommodate to 14 and are kid-friendly. Enjoy a world-class luxury retreat away from it all, yet just 90 minutes from Seattle!

Why the Owner Chose Greenbank
My husband and I looked for Whidbey Island real estate for 2 years before purchasing this property on Whidbey's westside. It is truly the best beach location on Whidbey, and we bought it for the incredible views, sandy beach and SW facing aspect. Over the past 10 years, we have done extensive remodeling to bring the structures to luxury standards and enjoy sharing our "Kennedy compound" (as friends have termed it!) with newer guests as well as families who return year after year. We donated most of our profits to environmental and women's health charities, with well over $60,000 donated over the past 5 years. We have used VRBO to introduce the property to new guests for over 6 years now.
The Unique Benefits at this Waterfront House
We recently completed a total remodel of the main house, a new beach shelter, and a remodel of the swimming pool. Please check our guestbook comments for reviews- it truly is a spectacular property and is best experienced in person. We have 3 young kids ourselves, and have designed the house to be kid friendly while at the same time providing a luxury experience for the adults. Our kids love the swimming pool in the summertime, the hot tub yearround, and hopping across logs in the lagoon anytime. We have hosted several very successful corporate retreats and hope to do more of these midweek. Please email us for our main website with a complete photo gallery. We hope to be able to host your family gathering, friends retreat, anniversary or milestone birthday celebration, corporate retreat, book club weekend, or romantic getaway on beautiful Whidbey Island!

Our knitting group came for a WONDERFUL weekend of knitting, gabbing, eating, walking, and just enjoying each other's company! We had two unexpected visitors- a bird flew in and a gecko walked in. Since they did not know how to knit they left quickly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We loved our weekend here and look forward to returning. ** Thank you for sharing a great view, waves, wind, and mountains. It was a perfect place for our Knitzvah Knitting Retreat. ** I had a great time in our beautiful house w/my fabulous friends. Sleeping in the Eagle's Nest was a true treat! Can't wait to return! Best, Ruth, Maggie, Rita, Carol, Sis, Dee, and Barbara

What a wonderful surprise for our 60th birthday! All were here from tiny Morgan to we aging parental units- the food was amazing, the wines splendid, the laughter constant, small kindnesses abounded, siblings sitting up late under a starry sky catching up w/each other's lives, cousins all tumbling like puppies and sleeping all warm and slightly sandy, firepit flames highlighting each happy face- reluctant good nights as we peel off to our various cozy nests of duvets and soft pillows. Daughters and daughters-in-love sneaking back to main house for just an edge of b'day cake, patient uncles being used a jungle gyms- beach exploring creating new "rivers" to the sound- And oh the sunset- splendiferous indeed- container ships slipping sliently thru the fog and emerging to gie small boys a delighted peek a boo. All this and more in this enchanted place- the perfect setting and your gracious home(s) provided the most wonderful backdrop to a fabulous family frolic. We shall return! P.S. We sure needed the extra day to recover from all that fun. C. Regan and co.
